Sustainable polymers are materials derived from renewable, recycled and waste carbon
resources and their combinations, which at the end of life can be recycled, biodegraded or …

The mass production of disposable polyolefin products has led to serious plastic pollution
and an imbalance between manufacturing and recycling. Given these challenges, the …

The current global materials economy has long been inefficient due to unproductive reuse
and recycling efforts. Within the wider materials portfolio, plastics have been revolutionary to …

Recently restricted greenhouse gas emission regulations for commercial vehicles have
initiated a significant interest of an automotive industry in carbon fibers (CFs), which are …

A diversity of renewable wastes such as biomass and plastic can be employed for the
synthesis of porous carbons, which have emerged as promising materials for CO 2 capture …

Plastics not only bring convenience and color to human life, but also bring endless troubles
and disaster to our environment. Reutilization of plastic wastes is in favor of energy …

Even though plastic improved the human standard of living, handling the plastic waste
represents an enormous challenge. It takes more than 100 years to decompose discarded or …

Physical and chemical activation mechanisms of carbon materials are investigated.
Uniformly sized spherical carbon particles (SCs) are preferentially synthesized using a …

Plastic waste, which is one of the major sources of pollution in the landfills and oceans, has
raised global concern, primarily due to the huge production rate, high durability, and the lack …

We demonstrate the conversion of disposable polypropylene (PP) masks into non-
